MHP has poached two former partners from disgraced public relations firm Bell Pottinger, which entered administration last month after two damning reports found it ran a racially divisive campaign in South Africa.

Andy Bloxham has joined the London-based PR firm as head of its corporate practice, while Jamie Lyons will be joint head of MHP’s public affairs unit.
